Criminal Law Definition and Regulation Path of Platform Responsibility in Cyber Violence Crimes
Abstract
This study systematically investigates the theoretical foundations and regulatory boundaries of criminal liability for online service platforms in addressing cyberbullying, a new form of social anomie.In the digital age, platforms have evolved beyond being mere neutral channels, assuming multiple roles as "organizers," "managers," and "beneficiaries."The paper first examines the multifaceted and complex nature of legal interests infringed by cyberbullying crimes.Building upon the legal principles of "safeguarding social order" and "protecting individual justice," it critically evaluates the sources and limits of platform obligations under current criminal law systems.Drawing on comparative legal frameworks, the study proposes a structured framework for determining platform liability and ultimately advocates a dual regulatory approach integrating "legislative theory" and "interpretive theory."This aims to strike a balance between fostering technological innovation and fulfilling social responsibilities, thereby providing intellectual support for the rule-of-law governance of digital spaces.
